  Hi there!

  If someone accessed your account via magic link it means they have access to your email address.
  Apart from changing the password on your WordPress.com account, I’d suggest immediately changing the password on your email and any other service where you used the same pass.

  Also, you should consider enabling the two-factor authentication, to increase the security of your account:
